Cannabis Infused Shrimp And Grits

This dish is one of my favorite comfort foods! I could eat it every day. It was a meal that our family would have often when I was growing up.My Granddad Benny and I went crabbing in the early morning hours, and sometimes shrimp would get caught in the nets.I let them go because we were going crabbing for crabs not shrimping – until Benny got mad at me for throwing food back . But then he cooked up that first dish of shrimp and grits…it tasted so good that  I don’t remember if finished eating it or if fell asleep in my bowl.

After that, shrimp and grits became one of our family’s go-to comfort foods. I remember my mom would make it for me whenever I was feeling sick. For example, when I got measles and mumps as a kid, this dish was pretty much the only thing I could hold down. My mom would cut the shrimp up small so that Hospital eating them more easily too memory enjoying every bite taste good right up there with collard greens and cornbread makes thinking about getting sick again!

Twelve years ago, my sister and I were discussing our Granddad’s family recipes when we realized that some of them just didn’t taste right. After asking our mom, we found out that the key ingredient was cannabis! Cannabis can do wonders for both the flavor and health benefits of your food!
